Re: Limited user cannot run game...?

I installed a game for my son under my account (Admin) think that all the users of this PC could play the same game under their own name...he or noone else can play the game unless they/he is logged in under my username/acct. When he tries to play the game under his username XP keeps telling him to insert the CD (CD in Drive F: not found....retry or cancel are his only options)...he has the correct CD inserted.

When I installed under Admin I "wasnt" given the option to install for
all users. What do I need to do to enable this game for all users?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

This will sometimes work. Log into the administrator account and make your son's account an administrator as well. Then log into your son's account and fire up the game, it should play. Then log off back on as administrator and change your son's account back to a limited account.
